Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Yellow Fever, as It Has Occurred in Charleston, Including Its Origin and Progress Up to the Present Time
This eminent physician does not give us any evidence in confirmation of this sweeping proposition, and it is not unfair to conjecture that his mind was biased by the opinion that the disease was first brought to Boston by Admiral Wheeler, from Martinique, in 1693. As Dr. Rush, when he recanted his Opinion of the propagation of the disease by contagion, acknowledged he was led to ascribe the yellow fever prima rily in Philadelphia, in 1693 - 4 and 97, to contagion, he was in?uenced by the Opinion of Dr. Lining and others.
